Among the various elements affecting a customer's evaluation of automobile quality, buzz, squeak and rattle (BSR) are considered to be major factors. In most vehicle manufacturers, the BSR problems are solved by find-fix method with the vehicle road test, mainly due to various excitation sources, complex generation mechanism and subjective response. The aim of this paper is to develop the integrated experimental method to systematically tackle the BSR problems in early stage of the vehicle development cycle by resolving these difficulties. To achieve this aim, the developed experimental method ought to include the following requirements: to find and fix the BSR problem for modules instead of a full vehicle in order to tackle the problem in the early stage of the vehicle development cycle; to develop the exciter system including the zig and road-input-signal reproducing algorithm; to automatically localize the source region of BSR; to develop sound quality index that can be used to assess the subjective responses to BSR. Also, the BSR sound quality indexes based on the Zwicker's sound quality parameters using a multiple regression analysis. The four sound metrics from Zwicker's sound quality parameter are computed for the signals recorded for eight BSR noise source regions localized by using the acoustic-field visualized results. Then, the jury test of BSR noise are performed for participants. On a basis of the computed sound metrics and jury test result, sound quality index is developed to represent the harsh of BSR noise. It is expected that the developed BSR detection system and sound quality indexes can be used to reduce the automotive interior BSR noise in terms of subjective levels as well as objective levels.

The most frequently suggested source for Pi2 pulsations in the inner magnetosphere (L < 4) is standing fast-mode waves trapped in the plasmasphere (i.e., plasmaspheric resonances). They have been considered as the source of low-latitude Pi2 pulsations. The plasmaspheric resonance model suggests that compressional fast-mode waves can be detected at all local times inside the plasmasphere provided reflection of the wave energy is efficient. Until now, however, there are no reports about compressional Pi2s observed in the dayside inner magnetosphere. That is, there is longitudinal limit of inner magnetosphere. In February 2008, THEMIS probes were near dawn and/or dusk sides, which are the transition regions between the nightside and dayside, in the inner magnetosphere (L = 2-4) when low-altitude Pi2s were identified at Bohyun (L = 1.35) station in Korea. Using the THEMIS electric field data, we examined if Pi2s are excited by longitudinally localized disturbances. We found that compressional Pi2s having high coherence with a low-latitude Pi2 pulsation occur on dawnside. However, any compressional pulsations in the Pi2 frequency band were not detected on duskside. This indicates that compressional Pi2s disappear near the duskside. Our observations are discussed with spatial plasmaspheric structure and possible Pi2 mechanisms.

This paper proposes a high efficiency three-phase cascaded phase shifted H-bridge multi-level inverter without DC/DC converters for grid-tied multi string photovoltaic (PV) applications. The cascaded H-bridge topology is suitable for PV applications since each PV module can act as a separate DC source for each cascaded H-bridge module. The proposed phase shifted H-bridge multi-level topology offers advantages such as operation at a lower switching frequency and a lower current ripple when compared to conventional two level topologies. It is also shown that low ripple sinusoidal current waveforms are generated with a unity power factor. The control algorithm permits the independent control of each DC link voltage with a maximum power point for each string of PV modules. The use of the controller area network (CAN) communication protocol for H-bridge multi-level inverters, along with localized PWM generation and PV voltage regulation are implemented. It is also shown that the expansion and modularization capabilities of the H-bridge modules are improved since the individual inverter modules operate more independently. The proposed topology is implemented for a three phase 240kW multi-level PV power conditioning system (PCS) which has 40kW H-bridge modules. The experimental results show that the proposed topology has good performance.

Angioedema is defined as self-limited, localized swelling. The swelling is asymmetric, non-pitting, and non-tender. Common locations of swelling include periorbital area, lips, tongue, extremities, and bowel wall. A 54-year-old woman visited our hospital with the clinical complaint of left maxillary swelling. Swelling of the left maxillary area was diffuse and temperature of the involved area was normal. No infectious source was found on panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography. After considering the patient's medical history and assessing clinical examination, we suspected angioedema and administered corticosteroid only. In the oral and maxillofacial area, proper diagnosis and prompt treatment of angioedema is important because angioedema of the tongue or larynx may lead to airway obstruction or a life-threatening condition.

We present a study on the reflection of optically controlled microwave pulses from non uniform plasma layers in semiconductors. The transient response of the microwave pulses in different plasma layers has been evaluated by means of the reflection function of dielectric microstrip lines. The lines were used with an open-ended termination containing an optically induced plasma region, which was illuminated by a light source. The reflection characteristics impedance resulting from the presence of plasma is evaluated by means of the equivalent transmission line model. We have analyzed the variation of the transient response in a 0.01 cm layer with a surface frequency in the region of 128 GHz. In the reflection the variation of the diffusion length $L_D$ is large compared with the absorption depth $1/{\alpha}_l$. The variation of the characteristic response of the plasma layer with differentially localized pulses has been evaluated analytically. The change of the reflection amplitude has been observed at depths of 0.1 cm, 0.01 cm and $0.1{\times}10^{-5}$ cm respectively.

To better understand the physics underlying the eruption of prominences in solar active regions, we studied eruption processes of two active prominences located in the active region NOAA 11261 using multi-wavelength observational data with high temporal and spatial resolution. Specifically, we examined (1) the temporal variation of morphology and plasma properties of the two active prominences, (2) magnetic fields and their evolution on the photospheric surface underneath the prominences, and (3) the time profiles and locations of radio, EUV, and soft/hard X-ray emissions produced by the M9.3 flare related to the prominence eruption. As a result, we found that: (1) a prominence F1 began to erupt and expand as the abrupt and intense EUV brightening occurred in the localized region underneath the western part of F1 at 03:45 UT prior to the peak time of the M9.3 flare, (2) F1 split into two parts: i.e., the western part asymmetrically erupted by producing the M9.3 flare with microwave source motions along the magnetic polarity inversion line between the two flare ribbons, while the eastern part coalesced into a pre-existing prominence F2, (3) F2 became unstable due to the coalescence with the eastern part of F1, and then it partially erupted with clockwise untwisting motions.

Despite of the impressive progress made in the Evolutionary techno-economics during the last two decades, there have been very little, if not at all, theoretical advancement in explaining an endogenous mechanism of transforming a technological paradigm within self-perpetuatingstructural dynamics. The question poorly attempted was raised by Schumpeter a century ago in his effort to overcome the well-known 'Walras' trap'. Although there have been increasing number of researchers recently tackling the issue quite seriously from within the Evolutionary school, I see it that radical reconstruction of the basic principle of Evolutionary research framework is urgently needed to solve the century long fundamental question, from evolutionary approach to transformational approach. In the paper, I will show the theoretical feasibility of explaining an endogenous mechanism of paradigm transformation, relying upon the concept of localized dynamics and the concept of morphogenetic structuration. It should be emphasized that there must be aendogenous process of deepening structural Instability generated in the process of economic coordination to secure efficient circular flow. The concept of development bottleneck initiated by the Baumol's cost disease could be regarded as one of the important source of such mechanism. Unfortunately, however, it is a brief conceptual description presented in the paper rather than a comprehensive analytical model, due to the space limitation imposed.

Tungsten skarn mineralization of the Sangdong mine is localized in the interbedded limestone layers of the Myobong Slate Formation and in the limestone of the Pungchon Limestone Formation of Cambrian age. Fluid inclusion, gas composition and Nd-Sr isotope for granites and skarns have been investigated. Gas compositions show $CO_2$ rich in the Sangdong granite and CH, rich in the Nonggeori and Eopyeong granites. The initial $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ and $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$ ratios of the Sangdong granites have 0.714~0.716(${\varepsilon}_{Sr}$=138~162) and 0.51173~0.51178(${\varepsilon}_{Nd}$=-14.4~15.5), respectively. And their two stage model ages range from 1687 to 1764 Ma. The granite characterized by high strontium initial ratios and negative eNd value could have originated from the old continental crust source. Low homogenization temperature of the Sangdong granite having $203{\sim}296^{\circ}C$ with 1.9~9.2 NaCl equiv. wt% indicates the post-magmatic hydrothermal alteration temperature. Skarn ore fluid responsible for tungsten mineralization has been evolved from CH, rich fluid of early pyroxene garnet skarn to $CO_2$ rich later quartz-mica skarn.

A bacterium which is resistant to both mercury and cadmium, and also capable of utilizing phenol as a carbon and energy source, was isolated from the Kumho River sediments near Kangchang Bridge, Taegu, Korea. The isolate was labeled Pseudomonas sp. KM10 and characterized. The bacteria grew in 4 mM $CdCl_2$and in $70{\mu}M$ $HgCl_2$. The bacteria efficiently removed over 90% of 1 g/l phenol within 30 h. In the presence of 1.250 g/l phenol, the growth of the microorganism was slightly retarded and the microorganism could not tolerate 1.5 g/l phenol. Curing of plasmid from the bacteria was carried out to generate a plasmidless strain. Subsequent experiments localized the genes for phenol degradation in plasmid and the genes for mercury resistance and cadmium resistance on the chromosome. Dot hybridization and Southern hybridization under low stringent conditions were performed to identify the DNA homology. These results showed significant homologies between the some sequence of the chromosome of Pseudomonas sp. KM10 and merR of Shigella flexneri R 100, and between the some sequence of the chromosome of Pseudomonas sp. KM10 and cadA of Staphylococcus aureus pI258. The mechanism of cadmium resistance was efflux, similar to that of S. aureus pI258 cadA, and the mechanism of mercury resistance was volatilization, similar to that of S. flexneri R100 mer.
